Looking ahead at DST match ups and, for those with deep benches that can carry 2, the Titans and Jets pair wonderfully. There are 3 bad games on the Titans schedule (IND x2 and DEN) and the Jets play BUF / MIA / OAK in those weeks.

At this point can I play Carolina against the saints in the playoffs? I know our offense better than most here and we aren't that spectacular this year and are prone to turnovers.

DST doesn't have a huge impact in most leagues. They're essentially like a second kicker. With that said, I wouldn't expect much from them in two games during the playoffs against the Saints. The Panthers DST is playing great but the Saints are not giving up much to opposing DSTs.

See above. Carolina may be solid but they won't help you when it matters most and may not help you much this week when you are desperate for wins. Tennessee has some sweet match ups, especially this week and week 16 vs. the Jags. The Jets pair well for the games against IND & DEN and are likely on your wire right now with a bye.

I've currently got Kaep, who's been playing relatively well the past 3 weeks. He plays a Carolina D that has given up the least fantasy points to QBs so far this season.

Available on the WW is Nick Foles, who I don't think can replicate last weeks performance, but still has a decent matchup against GB OR Jake Locker, who put up his 2nd worst performance of the year last week, largely because the Titans could run the ball. The Titans should be able to run the ball again this week, but they do play the 4th worst defenses in terms of pts allowed to fantasy Qbs.

Then there's Eli, who hasn't put up points since week 1, but he plays a fading Oakland defense.

I'd have to cur Steve Smith or Hakeem Nicks in order to make room for the extra QB, but if it means a win then I'll take it. I'm playing the #1 team in the league, and right now he's projected to get me by 16 points. He's got 4 players from the best offense in the league, Peyton, Decker, Welker and Moreno. A loss doesn't eliminate me from the playoffs, but puts me at great odds as I would fall two games back for the 3rd and 4th seed.

I'm actually the 3rd leading scoring, I just can't get it consistent enough and have given up the 3rd most points (why this is even a recorded stat is beyond me, not like you can do anything to prevent teams from scoring against you)

It is time to drop Vick. If you don't need a QB for this week, Cutler is the better long term add, imo. Foles will still have Vick looming.

ended up going with Foles for now because my opponent doesn't have a QB yet and I rather he not have Foles but the long term plan is Cutler

14 man PPR league and I have Ridley, Amendola, and J. Gordon on bye. Right now I'm stuck with either Beasley and L. Moore in my WR2, and will probably put Martellus Bennet in the flex. Any deep league options in FA I should consider?

i was over hearing these guys talk about their fantasy football league in one of my classes. One dude was talking about how Jordan Cameron was on a bye and he asked the other one if he should add Jordan Reed, the other guy didn't know who that was, In VIRGINIA. dude who are all these idiots who play fantasy football. How isn't Jordan Reed not owned in all leagues>

Moore is a great option for bye week replacement.

Eli is too tough to trust, for me. It's either Kaep or Foles. I'd go Foles. I think he has the better chance to have a huge game b/c Carolina's DST is so solid.

It's likely to be a push. Richardson has the better situation but can't do anything with it. Miller has a lousy situation (just lost 2 starters on an already suspect Oline) but seems to be in line for more work. I'd rather have Miller and would give up Trent for him in a second in the only league I own him.

Ok below is my line-up,I have a couple things I could get advice on...
Cutler - Ryan Mathews - Nick Foles - Chris Ivory are all available on the waiver wire.

Romo and Dez I have on by week 11 and picked up Casey Keenum (Plays Oak) for the week 11 to cover for Romo. Should I of picked up Foles instead for the week 11 bye instead (Plays Wash)?

I have been holding onto Harvin and Vereen and someone just dropped Ryan Mathews, should I pick him up? He has Mia week 11 - NYG 14 - DEN 15 and Oak week 15

I could also pick-up Ivory that plays Mia week 13 and Oak week 14

Thanks in advance to everyone for your help...

I was thinking Cutler for a week 12 start against stl and week 14 against Dallas

Keenum is the better choice for next week. Though that could change based on how he and Foles perform this weekend. Based on your roster I wouldn't bother with any of the RBs. As crappy as he and the Jags have been, MJD is still getting all the work there. Ivory and Mathews are fighting for time and your fantasy team could get game planned out of points with either of them.

Cutler and Romo both have nice schedules for the remainder of the season. The only guy with a more favorable schedule is . . . Keenum! Keep him and don't worry too much about Cutler. Once Romo is back from his bye and Keenum becomes expendable you can reassess the waiver wire.

I can understand why someone would be frustrated with him but dropping him is such a drastic move. Stash him and hope for the best. Don't expect much, though. It's really odd that he could not get into the lineup coming off a bye week. Seeing back specialists is not good news.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Texans just shut him down for the season, since their season is all but over. Until then, though, he can sit on my bench.
